The Russians Are Addicted To Cheating, Are Now Banned From All Major International Tournaments For The Next 4 Years
Do you believe in Miracles? YES!
CNN - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has unanimously agreed to ban Russia from major international sporting competitions -- notably the Olympics and the World Cup -- for four years over doping non-compliance.
WADA's compliance review committee (CRC) had suggested several sanctions because of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency's (RUSADA) failure to cooperate fully during probes into Russian sport.
WADA's executive committee decided to uphold the recommendations at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland on Monday…
…If upheld, WADA's decision means Russia will be unable to compete in events such as next year's Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo as well as the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022. It will also be unable to host any major sporting events.
You guys want to hear a little fun fact? Technically, Russia has never won an Olympic gold medal in hockey before. They've either won as the Soviet Union or last year as the "Olympic Athletes from Russia". And now it looks like that is going to continue since the Russians are addicted to cheating and are going to be banned from competing under their flag at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
I mean they just can't stop, won't stop crushing the Russian Gas. Almost to the point where you have to respect their balls and ability to just to not give a single fuck. The entire world knows that these guys are on the gas and they're just going to keep doping regardless because they're a bunch of sick bastards, I suppose. Putin is over there like, "what are they gonna do? Ban us from competing?". Then WADA turns around and bans them from competing and Putin is like, "what are they gonna do? Ban us from competing AGAIN?" And then they get banned again.
And then after the 2022 Winter Olympics, you have to imagine the NHL is finally going to start sending their players again in 2026. The men's tournament in 2018 is pretty much non-existent in my memory and I'm sure that's the same for the majority of you. I'm trying my hardest and I can't remember a single moment from that tournament, aside from the women winning gold in a shootout. The same exact thing is going to go for the 2022 Olympics since it sounds like the NHL won't let their players participate in that either. So eventually enough is going to be enough, the NHL will go back to the Olympics in Milan, and then it'll be Canada or the US winning gold every 4 years. Maybe every once in a while Sweden or Finland will stop in to say hello at the top of the podium but that's it. Unless Putin decides to throw himself on the roster himself in 2026. But by that time he might only be scoring 5 goals a game as opposed to his usual 8 or 9.
Sidenote: It's been out for a few years now but if for some reason you still haven't watched the documentary "Icarus" yet, I recommend changing that immediately.
